Residential Drywall Repair — Prices and Specs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a patch cost?

$250 to $450 for a small patch. Big patches run $450 to $900.

What do you repair most?

Doorknob and impact holes, dents, and cracks along seams or corners.

Can you match my texture?

Yes. Orange peel and knockdown are the common local textures. We test a spot first so the patch blends in.

What if a crack keeps coming back?

We check the cause first. A crack that returns can point past the surface, and the repair addresses that rather than covering it again.

How long does a repair take?

One to two visits. Coats need dry time, so most patches span two days.

Is the site check free?

Yes. The check and the written bid cost nothing.

A small residential patch in Gainesville costs $250 to $450 in 2026. A large patch runs $450 to $900. Most home repairs start small: a doorknob hole, a crack along a seam, or a dent from moving furniture. Homes here run from early-1900s houses near downtown to builds from the last few years, so matching the existing texture and finish is part of every repair. The sidebar holds the live ranges.

How the work runs

We check whether the damage is cosmetic or a sign of something else in the wall before recommending a fix. The hurt board is cut square, backing goes in on big patches, and coats go on with dry time in each step. Floors and furniture nearby are protected throughout.
